Stomach DisfiIs Acids.

These, if existent in natural quantity, and
unyitiated by bile, play their part in the
functions of digestion and assimilation. But
the artificial acid resulting from the inability
Of the stomach to convert food received by it
into sustenance, is the producer of flatulence
and heartburn, which are the most harassing
symptoms of dyspepsia. The best carminative
is Iostettcr's Stomach Bltters. Far more
effective Is it than carbonate of soda, mag
nesia or other alkaline salts. These invariably
weaken the stomach without producing per-
manent benefit. No man or woman chron.
ically dyspeptic, aud consequently nervous
can DO in possession of the full measure of
yigOr allowed by nature. Therefore, invig.
crate and regulate the system, and by so doing
protect IL from malaria, rheumatism and other
serious maladies.

WONDERFUL CURES.

W. D. Hoyt g. Co., wholesale and reta!
druggists, of Rome, Ga, says: We have
been selling DR.. Kings New Discovery
Electric Bitters and Bucklen's Arnica
Salve for two years. Have never handled
remedies that sell as well, or give such
universal satisfaction. There have been
some wonderful cures effected by these
medicines in this city. Several cases of
pronounced consumption have been en-
tirely cured by use of few bottles of DR..
Kings New Discovery, taken in connec-
ton with Electric Bitters. We guarantee
them always. Sold by Morley Bros.

New York and Brooklyn.

New York is badly in need of homes, but
there is small prospect that any persons, OK
cept those of considerable wealth, can ever
hope to own homes here. During the last
year 4, 097 new buildings were projected, Of
which the average cost vos $14, 500, exclu-
sive of the ground. In Brooklyn 1856 build
ings were erected at an average cost Of
S4,750. This marks the difference between
the two cities. Brooklyn becomes more and
more city of homes, while New York be-
comes city of millionaire, hotels and apart
mcmt houses. -New York News.

The Dog,

1t has been claimed that the dog was one of
the first animals created, and that one stood
ready to follow Adam about when he left the
Garden of Eden. just what Adam wanted a
dog for when there was nothing to "sic him
on" to is puzzler, but it is evident that the
dog appeared at an early stage in this worlds
history, and that he has held his own wonder
fully well. No one seems to know Just how
many species of dog can be put on record, but
the number is great enough to give us all a
change for every day in the week. There is
no country without its dogs, and the poorer
the country the more dogs .-Detroit Free

Not Too Proud.

A gentleman owns a fine tract of cedar
land not far from Austin, Tex, and few
days ago he was told that some negroes were
cutting down the timber, so he rode out to
see about 1t. To his astonishment he found
wealthy white neighbor, with a team and
wagon, hauling off the timber.
"Nhy am astonished, Colonel said the
owner of the land. 81 heard that lot of
negroes were stealing my timber, and here 1
ind you, white man, cutting my timber.
You ought to he ashamed of yourself"
"Well, to tell the TRUTH" responded the
other party, II hate to steal timber like
darkey, but these cedar trees make such
bully fence rails that concluded to drop all
pride of race." Texas Siftings.

Senator Sawyer Knows Good Pine Lands.


Senator Philetus Sawyer is very close
buyer when he gets into the market to pur-
chase pine lands. Usually the man who sells
to him does not know who the buyer is. A
few summers ago Philetus was up i'll Oconto
county inspecting some pine, and when he
sounded the owner as to tile sale that individ-
ual, an old man with grizzly hair and whis-
kers, hauled out a newspaper containing o
wood cut of Sawyer, looked at it closely and
then at the stranger, and said
"You be old Sawyer! Blamed if / haven't
been looking for you for these three years
This land amt for sale. Pine that Sawyer
wants is pine, and I'll just keep this here
patch to hand down as a heirloom to my chill
dren."
No trade was made, and the price of pine
land in that region rose Immediately there.

often in Wisconsin until after Sawyer has
